BLOOD POISON.

Three years ago l contracted a blood
poison. Iapplied to physician at once
and his treatment came near killing me.
l employed an old physician and then
went to KY. | then went to hot Springs
and remained two months, but nothing
seemed to cure me permanently, although
temporary relief was given me. My con
dition grew desperate and applied to
noted eusck, but l did not improve l
then used preparation which was pres
scribed gratis. but it contained too
much alcohol and aggravated my suffer-
ings. then placed myself under the
treatment of noted Nashville physician
and for time was benefited, but by fall
| returned home ruined man physically
and financially, with but little prospects
of ever getting well. My money being
exhausted, did not know what to do.
In May, 1885, my mother persuaded me
to get bottle of B. B. B. (made in At
lanta) and did so to crafty her, but to
my utter establishment l had not finished
the first bottle before every ulcer had
been healed.
To the present time | have used five
bottles and have received more benefit
than from all the rest combined; and am
satisfied that B B. B. is the most won>
derful blood purifier ever before known,
and | urge all afflicted young men to try
one single bottle and be convinced. |
can truly say think it the best medicine
in the world D. T HALLERToN.

VERY NERVOUS.
For many years | have been afflicted
with rheumatism, combined with some
kidney troubles. Indigestion finally added
to my misery and soon became feeble
and very nervous, and my whole system
was Frustrated, Several physicians were
employed and numerous patent medicines
resorted to without benefit. After seeing
so many testimonials extolling the wons
derful merit of B. B. B., commenced its
use and the effect was like magic. RheuN
matte pains ceased, my kidneys were re
lieved and my constitution improved al
once, and | cheerfully recommend it TO
others who may be similarly afflicted.

Dangerous Explosion at Bridgeport.

A report reached town by the Bellaire
train Tuesday evening that disastrous
ire occurred at Bridgeport that after
noon. The news caused considerable
anxiety. but in very few moments the
wires corrected it.
In the afternoon young colored man
named Gray, employed in Dents drug
store, undertook to draw some varnish
from partially filled barrel in the rear
of the store. A terrific explosion fol-
lowed, knocking men OFF chairs aG the
front of the store, and shooting flames
up the elevator to the top of the builds
ing. Men near by rushed to the rescue
of the imperiled building, and aided by
the crew Of Cleveland and Pittsburgh

it and the entire block. Mr.. Dents
goods were seriously damaged, and Gray
severely burned.

Fruit Prospects.

1t Is thought that all danger of killing
frosts is past and the present prospect
for an abundant fruit crop very prom
ising. Early cherries are as large AS
beans. and at the present rate of devel
opment will be ready for market by the
1st of June. Peaches passed through the
severe frosts of April with but little in
jury, and the trees in this locality are
well filled.
The pear crop will probably equal the
large yield of 1885, but the apple bloom
was lighter than last spring. A fair
crop, however, may be expected. Plums
and ounce bloom was very profuse and
the strawberry beds were literally white
with blossoms-the recent heavy rains
washed cornHelds badly, but the mead
Ows and pasture lots are rank and
luxuriant thereby.
